Laconia Resources – June 2013 Quarterly Report

Rasuhuilca Gold-Silver Project, Southern Peru

(100% Laconia)

During the quarter Laconia has built on significant progress already made at the Rasuhuilca Project with additional encouraging historical exploration results. High grade copper-gold-silver values have been identified in historical diamond drilling and surface channel sampling at its newly optioned Fortuna Prospect within its flagship Rasuhuilca Project in Peru.

These results, while representing early-stage exploration work, are considered highly significant. They suggest that the high-grade copper discovered at the adjacent Española 1[2] Prospect at Rasuhuilca continues into Fortuna, bringing substantial potential for further increases in the Project’s total resource inventory.

The results also support Laconia’s growing belief that the shallow high grade copper-gold-silver mineralisation sits as a cap over an extensive copper porphyry system at Rasuhuilca. The copper in the cap, combined with knowledge of the geology, mineralisation and alteration, supports Laconia’s view that the porphyry may be an “El-Indio style” gold and copper porphyry system.

Fortuna, which is contained within a package of 11 tenements over which Laconia recently acquired an option (see ASX announcement dated 26 March, 2013), is one of several targets at Rasuhuilca, including Española 1 Prospect described in the March 2013 Quarterly.

Fortuna Prospect Geology

The Fortuna Prospect lies about 600m to the east of the Rasuhuilca Mineral Resource[3] in the Huaco Cucho No. 2 permit that is one of the 11 permits of the Option Agreement signed in March 2013.[4] Mineralisation is hosted by a set of two parallel veins that trend east-west for at least 90m and dip steeply to the north, also intersecting the large regional Huaco Fault at the west end of the prospect.

In addition to high grade copper, gold and silver values that are typical of the greater Rasuhuilca Project, Fortuna Prospect also contains some elevated zinc and lead. The polymetallic nature of mineralisation at Fortuna Prospect is indicative of metal transport under the highly mobile conditions generated in a porphyry environment.

The two veins at the Fortuna Prospect have been identified through surface channel sampling and diamond core drilling by Buenaventura between the years 1997 and 2002. During 2002, five diamond core holes were drilled at the Fortuna Prospect, and returned intersections confirming the main vein mapped at surface continues at depth.

The data from the drilling is well-documented and includes geology, sampling and QAQC data. Diamond core from the drill program may still exist, and discussions with Buenaventura are ongoing to acquire this historic core. The secondary parallel vein under cover of scree slope was discovered by the diamond drilling, and it lies about 20m to the north of the mapped Fortuna vein.

The surface geology of the Fortuna Prospect, surface channel sampling locations and diamond drillhole locations are shown in Figure 1. Significant intersections, calculated as weighted averages of down hole

length to grade, of copper, gold and silver are annotated on the drill holes. True widths of the veins are not yet estimated, and all values presented are down hole intersection lengths.

An underground adit was developed at the 4760 level, to the western end of the Fortuna Prospect. The adit has driven about 100m across the Fortuna Lode sequence from north to south. At present geology and sampling data for the Fortuna adit development is being digitally captured from good quality PDF plans, validated and synthesised into the Company database.

Significant Historic Diamond drilling results from Fortuna are summarised below[5]

Community Agreement Progress

During the quarter Laconia reached an agreement for rights to access and to build exploration infrastructure on land within the Yanama community, Peru. The Yanama community is one of three community groups within the immediate area of impact of the Rasuhuilca Project.

The agreement is a positive step toward obtaining social licence over the entire Rasuhuilca Project area required for government permitting for drilling. The Agreement shows strong support for Laconia and its advanced Rasuhuilca copper gold silver Project and reflects the transparency, respect and confidence Laconia is building with relevant community groups and stakeholders with whom we are working. The agreement puts the Project on a solid path for further exploration with predictable social license costs and commitments.

Support from the Central and Provincial governments continues to assist Laconia in the objectives identified in gaining social licence with the Ministry of Mines and Energy. The National Water Authority and Ministry of Presidential Advisors – National Office of Dialog and Sustainability are also contributing with tangible community projects and assistance.

Work Completed at the Rasuhuilca Project during the June Quarter 2013

  • Continuing consultation with community groups

  • Ongoing data review for the greater Rasuhuilca Project

  • Expansion of the exploration model and scoping of exploration works to test for Porphyry Copper-Gold enrichment.

About the Rasuhuilca Project

The Project currently has an Inferred Mineral Resource estimate of; 360,000t @ 1.97g/t gold and 179g/t silver (at a 2.5g/t gold-equivalent cut-off).

Note: [All cut-offs based on an Xg/t Au Eq are conceptual in nature only. There has been insufficient metallurgical testwork to date to determine eventual metallurgical recoveries and it is uncertain that the conceptual cut-offs used will be appropriate following further metallurgical testwork.]

The Rasuhuilca Project is located approximately 500km southeast of the Peruvian capital, Lima, in the southern part of the country (see Figure 3). It is an advanced, high-grade gold and silver project with near-term development potential and significant exploration upside potential. The Company’s strategy is to utilise the potential revenues from the project once in production to fund further exploration, and increase the current resource base.

This Mineral Resource statement is based on historical data and classified as Inferred Mineral Resource as there was a lack of independent QA/QC data available at the time of resource estimation. Independent sampling has since been completed by Laconia[6] to confirm the tenor of the historic data. The Company plans to review the resource (category and size) so it can confidently be used as the basis for mine planning activities, with an internal review of a feasibility study completed by previous owners (2008).

Rasuhuilca Project – Further Exploration Potential

The Rasuhuilca Project is situated on the collapsed rim of the Rasuhuilca strato-volcano within a highly visible zone of secondary potassic alteration. Laconia aims to target the following mineralisation styles:

  • The network of outcropping gold-silver veins in lower temperature acidic outflow zones (silicaalunite-sulphide alteration);

  • Large-scale, sub-horizontal disseminated gold-silver mineralisation within outflow zones;

  • High-grade bonanza gold veins beneath the acidic outflow zones;

  • Copper-gold mineralisation within buried intrusive stocks, or gold-silver-zinc mineralisation in skarns surrounding buried intrusive stocks.

Divestment of Lennons Find Project – Precious and Base Metals, East Pilbara WA (95% Laconia)

M45/368 (95%), E45/3293 (100%)

The project covers 116km[2] of Archaean terrain and is located approximately 40km from Marble Bar on the southern edge of the Mt Edgar Granitoid Complex, in the East Pilbara region of Western Australia. The Project is located on a granted mining lease and includes the Yandicoogina exploration licence E45/3293. Outcropping gossanous veins with elevated base metals grades are present in the project area and occur at a consistent horizon along a 16.5km strike length of the Duffer Formation.

During the quarter, Laconia entered into a Binding Terms Sheet to divest 100% of its interests in its Western Australian Lennons Find Project to Musketeer Minerals Pty Ltd (“MKM”).

MKM and Laconia entered into the Binding Terms Sheet to record the principal terms agreed between the parties for MKM’s acquisition of Laconia’s interest in these mining and exploration assets owned by Laconia, with the intention of MKM vending the assets into a shell company. MKM is currently seeking to acquire a new mining business activity and an ASX listed entity (“Shell Company”). Laconia controls the mining assets and associated permits, namely a 95% interest in M45/368 and a 100% interest in E45/3293 collectively called the Lennons Find Project.

The principal terms of the Binding Term Sheet contained the following:

  1. Upon signing of Binding Terms Sheet a requirement for MKM to pay Laconia a non-refundable deposit of $100,000 cash for a six month exclusive option to acquire the Lennons Find Project.

  2. Within 7 days of MKM or a shell company listing on the ASX or MKM or the Shell company completing a capital raising of $2million (by way of equity, debt or combination):

  3. Laconia will be issued a 10% equity stake (fully paid ordinary shares) in either MKM or the Shell Company (at Laconia’s election).

  4. Laconia will receive $400,000 cash from either MKM or the Shell Company; and

  5. LCR may nominate a Board member to be appointed as a Non-Executive Director on MKM’s Board or on the Board of the Shell Company (at Laconia’s election).

The transaction is subject to all regulatory approvals including any necessary shareholder approvals.

The terms of this transaction allow Laconia to monetise value held in the Lennons Find Project while allowing Laconia shareholders to retain exposure to, and gain a direct benefit from the exploration in the region.

MKM is led by Steve Elliot who is a founding Director of Helix Resources NL and founding Managing Director of Talisman Mining Limited.
